Our company has long been involved in environmental projects that preserveand protect wildlife. Waste Management’s landfillsprovide more than 16,000 acres of protected land for wetlands and wildlife habitats, which are carefully managed in partnership with conservationists, universities andenvironmental groups. Many of these landfill projects provide safe harbor for threatened or endangered species of plants and animals. These projects also serve to broaden understanding of wildlife values through the incorporation of environmental education, volunteer participation and community outreach programs.

Our wildlife habitats and wetlands restoration projects have received numerous awards from environmental and government agencies, including international recognition from the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC), an organization that brings the environmental community and industry together in a cooperative effort to conserve and restore natural ecosystems.

As of June 2006, 15 Waste Management landfill sites have received certification from WHC for commendable wildlife habitat management and environmental education programs.
